Vice President Joe Biden today will kick off the Obama administration’s “Recovery Summer,” a six-week-long push designed to highlight the jobs accompanying a surge in stimulus-funded projects to improve highways, parks, drinking water and other public works.

David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, said: “This summer will be the most active Recovery Act season yet, with thousands of highly-visible road, bridge, water and other infrastructure projects breaking ground across the country, giving the American people a first-hand look at the Recovery Act in their own backyards and making it crystal clear what the cost would have been of doing nothing.”

Biden, President Barack Obama and other administration officials will travel to more than two dozen Recovery Act project sites in coming weeks. On Friday, the president will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to mark the groundbreaking of the 10,000th Recovery Act road project to get under way.

So THERE'S where the TARP was.

It was a 2010 political slush fund.

Hasen’t the admin and their media been crowing about the wonderful recovery since February? Oh I guess they just haven’t gotten their message out.
Hey yall, there is a recovery going on, haven’t you heard.
Oh wait, all you ignorant americans are refusing to go back to work just to make obama look bad. That’s it.

Oh, great! My loser of a Congressman (Joe Courtney, CT-2 D) will now be sending me e-mails every week telling me how HE brought money to my district.

I can't stand these pukes.

So a Summer of road cones, traffic jams and raised blood pressures. This is supposed to bring people back in droves to worshipping OBlame-a. This administration really is this stupid.

Isn’t this the nobama equivalent of Prez Ford’s “Whip Inflation Now” (WIN)? What a bunch of clueless, feckless losers.

why would one need a recovery summit if they had a laser like focus upon jobs and the recovery.

seems to me they should have the best roughnecks in the world have a summit on the O spill.

We already got the Social Security fan letter. I just wonder how much that four page glossy cost them!

It was a DNC campaign flyer funded by our tax dollars. More than likely more to come to the senior community before November.

“This summer will be the most active Recovery Act season yet, with thousands of highly-visible road, bridge, water...other infrastructure projects.."

...with a majority of the funds going towards oil-tainted beach clean-up projects that are...

"...breaking ground...giving the American people a first-hand look..."

...at the complete and utter ineptitude of the Obama administration as displayed in the administration's failed attempt to contain the Gulf oil spill.
